OFFICIAL: Arteta confirms Man City coaching role

Former Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he is retiring from football to take up a coaching role at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.
The midfielder was confident he had played his last game of football when he played just two minutes in Arsenal's final game of the 2015-16 season - just his ninth appearance in the English top flight in that campaign.
Speculation had been building around the 34-year-old's future towards the end of the season, with reports linking him to a background role at City.
And the former Spain international has confirmed that his playing career has ended and he will be working with Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium next term.
"I can confirm that I will be leaving Arsenal and retiring from playing to take up a coaching position at Manchester City," he said in a statement released on Twitter.
